Step inside the purry-tale kingdom situated in the northern side of Manila, serving human meals, four times a day.

an infographic featuring Miao Cat Cafe’s Orange!
Tucked inside the second floor of Cake2Go in Congressional Avenue, amongst the rows of spa, fast food chains, and grocery store establishments, is the unassuming, barely a month old Miao Cat Cafe.
Opening last Valentine’s Day, Miao offers not just a first of its kind concept in Manila but also simple food that will keep you coming back for more –fromΒ pastries, to pasta, to roasted chicken served with brown rice (which is YUM! by the way!). A selection of drinks, both warm and cold, (try Yoghurt milkshake!) add to the comforting, nourishing choices.
Since they are relatively new, the owners are still polishing their menu so stay tuned for more options.
The cafe currently houses 11 cats you may opt to observe, play with, or bow down to.
But before you do all of these –you have to contact them via Facebook or phone call as they allow guests via reservation only.
There is a door fee of P300 for adult and P150 for kids which is valid for one meal and one drink.
Once there, you will be asked to wear slippers, as provided by the store, read their rules, disinfect your hands, and then sign at their “guestbook.”

OMG! I have never seen anything like it before! This is so adorable and cute! I hope they spread this idea to other countries!
It is widely popular in countries like Japan and South Korea. In Japan, I believe they also have a different one, a unique dining experience at a ninja cafe. Sounds pretty cool but expensive, actually. Haha
Very interesting store. I am not exactly a cat lover, but I hope I get a chance to see this place. My wife is rather queasy with cats though. -Fred
There’s another cafe with the same concept but instead of cats, they have dogs! I think it’s in Katipunan area, Fred. π
So cute. OMG, I can walk from my office to this Cat cafe. So cute. Down side is you still have to reserve prior to dining at the cafe.
Well yes, reservations are a must since the demand seems to be too high.
Cat cafe? first time i hear something like that. Seems really interesting however. I would give it a shot. Are there dog-puppies cafe as well?
Hi! Yes there’s one I think within QC as well but I haven’t visited it yet although I am a dog lover more than a cat fan π
Haha in Korea they have cat cafes, fish cafes, dog cafes and even a sheep cafe! I’m glad that an animal cafe has opened in manila. So cute! π
A cat cafe opened in Singapore was forced to close down after news of how 7 cats died during the short period of opening hours were released. Hopefully, this doesn’t happen in Manila!
What?! That’s so sad to hear. I wonder how that happened. I am positive that it won’t happen to Miao because the cafe actually serves as the cats extended home, I think. π
Wow.. so nice a cat cafe. Hope more of this kinda cafe concept.
Thanks for checking this post, Elana π
I’m sorry, that is actually my worst nightmare. Am not a huge fan of cats and to sit there eating with them, sitting on the table, would turn my stomach. Sim
I see. To each his own. Maybe another version of animal cafe would work better for you π
Well now I have seen everything I know people like there cats but this is a whole new level
Haha I know an owl cafe in London is opening (or it’s open already, not sure) but that is like from the Harry Potter books! Interestinggg!!!
i know theres one in london and i am yet to visit
I believe there is also an owl cafe opening in London! I wanna try that as well!
Love to be with them. I love cats so much.
I’m sure the cats would love to see you one day, amayachika π
Miao! Miao! this is so cute. I will go there when I visit Manila
I’m sure you’ll love it here (in Manila and in Miao cafe) π
Oh wow.. I never really knew there was such a cafe – I should visit it with my friends.
Let me know how it goes, Aisha! π
The food looks soooo good, and the cats are so adorable! It’s very thoughtful how the owners prepare slippers for guests to wear.
That’s true phyliciamarie π Expect a second home vibe when you dine in at Miao. π
This is perfect for Cat lovers. They have a great foods and they have good company in cats.
True that, frank! Thanks for visiting π
A company opened one in NY last year and it has a waiting list of cat lovers and curiosity seekers who want to visit. I love it.
Interesting! Would love to check that out one day. π
Lol the first statement was hilarious. I think Cat is more dominant than dog π
Haha true! Cats rule the world, not girls. Lol
I don’t own a cat, but cat cafe looks interesting though.. I wonder if they have it in my country..
Come visit Manila if you want. You’ll love it here π
I love this unique and innovative idea of a Cat’s cafe! I have never seen anything like this before. The treats look so lovely and delicious! You are happy to have such a cafe in Manilla!
We really are all happy for this wondrous offering. No need to go out of the country. π
This is just so cool… wish more this kind of concept cafe around….
Yup, Elana! If only it is possible, I’d like to visit a firefly cafe haha π
This is sooo cute! I’d love to visit it!
Christ almighty this is BEYOND cuteness! I’ve a good friend in Manila who loves kittens and she’s gonna absolutely love this article ha ha ha π
Hi Stefan! The place has changed since my last visit, there are more room for legwork for the cats now! π
Cool! Another cat cafe to explore. I did my first one in Paris this year. It was meooowww—ful!
Wow they also have one in Paris? Awesome!
Purry-tale kingdom.. Haha, love it! Cat cafes are one of my favourite things, especially for a traveller trying to fill up on feline love.
Hahaha! For sure you will love it there, Nikita π cheers!
